Chicken Soup for the Soul: Here Comes the
Bride
101 Stories of Love, Laughter and Family

You did it! You found that one special person with whom you want to spend the
rest of your life... your soulmate... your best friend. Now it's time to plan
for your big day. Your wedding is one of the most special and memorable events
in your life. It will bring you warm and wonderful memories for many years to
come. And there might also be some humorous and disastrous memories surrounding
your big day too.

We want to hear all about everything! We are looking for true stories and poems
about your wedding and about being a bride. We'd love to hear from the groom
too. From the proposal to the multitude of arrangements to the rehearsal to the
big day to the honeymoon and everything in between. Did everything go as
planned? Did the best man forget the ring? Was your first dance the most
romantic dance ever? Did your mother-in-law ruin your day? Stories can be
touching and inspirational or wicked and funny.

Here are some suggested topics but we know you can think of many more:

The proposal

The rings

The perfect dress

The location of the wedding

The rehearsal/rehearsal dinner

The bridal shower/the bachelor party

The big day

The honeymoon

If your story is chosen, you will be a published
author and your bio will be printed in the book if you so choose. You will also
receive a check for $200 and 10 free copies of your book, worth more than $100.
You will retain the copyright for your story and you will retain the right to
resell it.

Please remember, we do not like "as told to" stories. Please write in the first
person about yourself or someone close to you. Do not ghost write a story for
someone else. If a story was previously published, we will probably not use it
unless it ran in a small circulation venue. Let us know where the story was
previously published in the "Comments" section of the submission form.

SUBMISSIONS GO TO
http://chickensoup.comSelect the Submit Your Story link on the left tool bar and follow the
directions.

Seeking submissions of very funny
writing related to Valentine’s Day.
Submissions so far have tended to be columns in the Dave Barry/Erma Bombeck
mold, but there’s also out-of-envelope material. We’ll look at essays, light
verse, lyrics, jokes and routines: anything that is truly funny and can be
printed. We won’t run anything X-rated or violating the usual taboos, but we’ll
give it a look.

“My Funny Valentine” will be an attractive low-priced gift paperback, available
on all online stores, and on order from any bookstore.

There is no pay but copies because the book is not aimed at profit, but
promotion. All contributors will benefit from the promotional efforts of all the
others (aided with support from the publishers and editors, such as videos) and
the seasonal nature of the book makes it a natural for media attention.

Previous publication is not a problem, as long as you can release the rights.
Work will be copyrighted for authors, but no impediment placed to later
publication elsewhere. That’s a lot of the concept.

Some excellent material from a surprisingly high level of professional writers
and comics has already been accepted, so just dashing something off probably
won’t work unless you’re really talented. But don’t let lack of experience keep
you from sending in something you think is ready for prime time. Submissions taken until July 1, 2011.

A Story is a Promise offers a fresh new
model for mastering the elusive art of writing dramatic and engaging
stories. In order to illustrate its major principles, the book includes
reviews and analyses of over a dozen popular films, novels, and plays.
Complete with prompts and questions at the end of each chapter, A Story is a
Promise can be used as a workbook to help writers internalize the principle
that underlies all well-told stories: that a story should be a promise and
that a promise should be kept. The inclusion of familiar examples makes this
book accessible and useful to all writers of fiction, plays, and
screenplays.

Bill Johnson has been using the manuscript of A Story is a
Promise in his workshops for years. Many editors also use the workbook to teach
blossoming writers the craft of storytelling.

In his widely read guides How to Write a Damn Good
Novel and How to Write a Damn Good Novel II: Advanced Techniques,
popular novelist and fiction-writing coach James N. Frey showed tens of
thousands of writers how--starting with rounded, living, breathing, dynamic
characters--to structure a novel that sustains its tension and development
and ends in a satisfying, dramatic climax.

Now, in
The Key, Frey takes his
no-nonsense, "Damn Good" approach and applies it to Joseph Campbell's
insights into the universal structure of myths. Myths, says Frey, are the
basis of all storytelling, and their structures and motifs are just as
powerful for contemporary writers as they were for Homer. Frey begins with
the qualities found in mythic heros--ancient and modern--such as the hero's
special talent, his or her wound, status as an "outlaw," and so on. He then
demonstrates how the hero is initiated--sent on a mission, forced to learn
the new rules, tested, and suffers a symbolic death and rebirth--before he
or she can return home. Using dozens of classical and contemporary novels
and films as models, Frey shows how these motifs and forms work their
powerful magic on the reader's imagination.

The Key is designed as a practical step-by-step guide for fiction
writers and screen writers who want to shape their own ideas into a mythic
story.

We are currently accepting submissions for Relief: A Quarterly Christian
Expression. This literary journal is designed for authors who want to

Cash prizes will be awarded to "Editor's Choice" for each genre.
